Hey Jeff thanks for this note and glad you enjoyed the post! It honestly was a combination of me reaching out to various platforms or them contacting us. For the former, I’d send them a quick paragraph or two of who we are and a link to our blog to find more info to see if they’d be interested.

Honestly, it was a lot of time writing guest posts or recording podcasts and have significantly reduced this amount for year 2.

Love the detail and all of the encouragement. Actually just started my own blog about personal finance so these numbers are really motivating for me and will definitely keep me on the right track!
If you don’t mind me asking, how did you land all those guest appearances? 20 in a year is an impressive number! Any insight would be appreciated!
Again, thanks for the post!

Thanks Bob! It’s hard to know if these stats are poor or good but overall just trying to focus on providing useful content!

Happy to share and hope it helps others who have always been curious to peep inside a bloggers world.

No idea for tips re subscribers – I’m surprised more than 7 people find out content entertaining/helpful.

I have such mixed feelings towards SEO. I understand it’s importance to try and get eyes to the blog but I have zero interest spending time on it, I’d rather focus on useful content. But if no one is reading it who cares! It’s a Catch 22.

Here’s hoping we cross the 10k mark in a year or two 🙂

My numbers from my first year are very similar to yours, but you kicked my butt with your subscriber numbers! I know I should work harder to improve this, but never get around to it. I’ll have to ask you for tips. 😉

I also have the same frustration with the inconsistent traffic. I’ve been lucky to get a few big spikes in 2020, but they’re all one-off and temporary. Like you, I need to do more SEO to help bring in more consistent traffic.

All in all, you’ve done well this year, lady! Those are impressive stats. I’m sure you’ll reach 10k in no time.
